Jan. 31st, 2007 12:35 pmSam's Three Things About House MD!
1. In the Department of Irrelevancies I have two sub-Things.
a) BUGS IN ORIFICES. That is one of, possibly my biggest, squick. O SO MUCH sleeping with earmuffs on.
b) They page Dr. Quinn. About three or four minutes into the first act, just as Cameron is entering, they page Dr. Quinn over the loudspeaker. Dr. Quinn, you guys.
c) I forgot to add C: the woman House is willing to pay ten bucks to touch? At first I thought it was Stacy. I'm not nuts, right?
2. Oh House, no no. No using Hitler on a patient. Godwin says No.
3. A lot of times people will say to me, after reading a fic, "You made X work when I didn't see how it possibly ever could." I confess I don't often find myself on the other end of the conversation (well, I don't read much fic anymore) but I'm finding myself there now. House's patient, a beautiful and traumatised young woman, forces House to a confession of childhood abuse. If you gave me a fic with that summary I'd politely decline and cite both Mary Sue and Emo House. But it worked, and it worked well -- in fact, about three-quarters of the way through I sat back and thought, this is like watching a play. So, more power to the writers. I'm sorry I dallied with Aaron Sorkin, David Shore! I swear I've always been true to you. Spiritually. Ecumenically. Grammatically. Et cetera.
3a. Wilson wins forever. Except when Chase wins.
